James Hoffman predicts scales in drip trays

Postby Marshall on Sat Jan 01, 2011 2:18 pm

And here in Tekomino's corner is former World Barista Champion and trainer of champions, James Hoffman, with his five predictions for 2011:
1. Scales in drip trays

I've been going on about weighing espresso for a while, as have many others in the industry. This year we are going to see busy retail operations implement scales into drip trays for use with every drink. I also think this year a manufacturer of espresso machines will start to take this seriously and start R&D on building them in a standard.

I'll believe it when I see it, but there you have it.

"Don't forget to tare the drip tray before pulling a shot."
"La Marzocco introduces auto-tare function on all of their drip trays when extraction button is selected. With resolution to five-hundredths of a gram, La Marzocco is proud to lead the industry in drip tray accuracy.""

What we need first is grinders that grind onto the scale that stops grinder when preset weight is ground. And I'll have two of both :D
